SK Broadband has announced the successful implementation of DOCSIS 3.1 broadband technology to enhance its cable infrastructure.
The next-generation HFC standard improves frequency efficiency and increases cable network capacity to support demand for more internet video and the growth of connected devices. SK Broadband rolled out a DOCSIS 3.1 pilot service in the Anyang area in Gyeonggi Province and the Gwangju area in Jeollanam Province in November 2017. Using the Cisco cBR-8 converged broadband router, SK Broadband hit speeds of 4Gbps downstream and 1Gbps upstream. The company expects to roll out a large-scale service deployment in the second half of 2018.
